Topic: SAM Brickfilming Contest 2010

Hello people. I have a little contest for you.
http://i904.photobucket.com/albums/ac244/Dhizmoraxe/SAM.png

It is called SAM which stands for Strange and Mysterious. This contest was originally
posted in late August this year but due to the fact that too many contests were going
on I had to cancel it. Anyway enough of that lets get on to the basics!
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Theme
The theme is obviously Strange and Mysterious. You have to make a film about something
strange or mysterious. Quite self explanatory.

Mod Elements
The mod element is a Blue brick connected to a Grey Brick. It must be LEGO or any similar
plastic building brick toy. Using minifigure parts for the mod element is allowed.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Judges

I will be judging this contest myself.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

The Rules

1. No swearing, excessive violence or sexual content.
2. You must say that the video was an entry to SAM 2010
3. Entries must be made of LEGO or any other similar plastic building brick toy.
4. Use of CGI is allowed.
5. Copyrighted music is allowed.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

the 20th the deadline of the competition.

Does the mod element need to be in every shot?

Re: SAM Brickfilming Contest 2010

I'll enter this for sure.

Re: SAM Brickfilming Contest 2010

Sigh... I remember the good old days when having a mod element was only needed in contests where half the schtick of the contest was making the films entirely within the 24-hour timeframe, thus making a mod element necessary...

Re: SAM Brickfilming Contest 2010

i'm sorry for asking this, but what is a mod element? is it like you have to have something in the video?

Re: SAM Brickfilming Contest 2010

A mod element is a piece of object, or even something as intricate as a color in every shot in a film to indicate the shot was made for the film and is not old footage. Not very necessary in this case, but it is his contest.

Re: SAM Brickfilming Contest 2010

ooo ok, thank you! it says every scene, so does that mean i can have some clips (like zooming in) where the mod element is not there, but it must be there every time i change the landscape/scene? ok.. i think i just answered my own question... Thanks http://i.imgur.com/cU6bh.jpg
